Replace the characters within the quotes with your values and adjust for
your ranges:

=COUNTA(A1:Z1)-SUM(COUNTIF(A1:Z1,{"AA","BB","CC","DD","EE","FF"," GG","HH"}))

If I have 8 values I need to omit, this might be quite longwinded - is
there
any way of condensing it so that you only need to put the range in twice?

Thanks

If you want to exclude only the three values you mentioned then try
=COUNTA(B1:B9)-COUNTIF(B1:B9,"EE")-COUNTIF(B1:B9,"UA")-COUNTIF(B1:B9,"UE")

You can comeup with more elegant formulas but all of them will
essentially
do the same process...

Adjust the range according to your data.

Click 'Yes' if this helped.

I need to figure out a formula that counts the non blanks in a row,
but
omits
non blanks equalling "UA", "UE" and "AA".
Can anyone give me a simple formula please, I've tried all sorts of
IFs,
AND's and MAYBE's thanks!
